The all-new mid-size 2019 Volkswagen Arteon is considered the “spiritual successor” to Volkswagen’s Comfort Coupe, or CC, but it’s bolder, faster and roomier, and will be available in the fall. The experts at Speedcraft VW in Wakefield can answer any of your questions. “The Arteon combines the design elements of a traditional sports car with the elegance and space of a fastback,” says Klaus Bischoff, head of design for the Volkswagen brand. “It’s an avant-garde business class gran turismo that speaks to the heart and the head alike.” Already on sale in Europe, the new Arteon is built off the MQB architecture and includes a 268-horsepower, turbocharged 2-liter engine with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission and optional four-wheel drive. The Arteon has an extra 5 inches of length in the wheelbase. It's also longer and wider, with a roomier back seat than the CC. The combination of hatchback and folding rear seats give the Arteon ample cargo space.
